Everyone has their own tastes SlimShaadi. I much prefer the functionality and aesthetics of Sony to any other brand - have used them all (HTC, iPhone, LG, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Panasonic etc.). The only other brand I feel somewhat comfortable with is HTC.

So....according to me, everyone else should stop making phones :P

But in any case, this Philips phone probably is an ODM design. So, there would be nothing special in it.

                  I like Philips products cause they are toughly built and their quality control is quite high. So yeah I'll definitely keep my eye on this.

                      should be able to take 1080p video with 8mp camera sensor. 1080p screen resolution that only capable of taking 720p videos is kinda weird lol

                        I wonder if Philips will ever introduce Ambilight technology for their smartphones.
                        How awesome would that be.
                        Off course that would probably require huge maH capacity...

                          AnonD-472910, 25 Apr 2016720p screen?Nope,it is 1080p screen.
                          720p is video recording.
                          I'm a bit puzzled why only 720p video recording considering other specs.
                          It's probably a mistake.
                          Then again perhaps Philips wants to shoot itself in the f**Ing foot even before a comeback.
                          Sad really because we need fierce competition between smartphone companies.

                            Nice design, I like it, if the price is right too, it'll be a nice budget handset to buy !! It all depends on the price.

                                    For the rest of us, who hate the glass back of latest Samsung phones, we're going to go the HTC/LG/Whoever else route.

                                      companies are so dumb with these fast charging gimmick in hope that we don't recognize their shrinking batteries. WE DONT WANT TO HAVE TO CHARGE IT OFTEN!
